COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONHopulent IPA is a big beer with lots of complex malt flavor and excessive hops. This beer will have changes to the grain bill and seasonal hop changes. The character of Hopulent IPA is over the top, too much of everything—a real HOP HEADS DELIGHT!

Pours a clear gold with plenty of foam that lasts and does well with the lacing.
The smell is is a mix of caramel malt and grain with the hops well represent by pine.
Even Steven on the first few sips between the malt and hops but I notice the alcohol kick more. The malt is sweet but also has a grain like character to it. The hops have pine but to me, it has more of an aspirin like bitterness.
Close to full bodied with medium carbonation.
This is decent but a rather difficult beer to drink not only taste wise but because the alcohol is intrusive. I am not likely to revisit.

On tap, at the pig, DC. It pours a hazy orange colored body under a creamy, finger thick off-white head. Lacing. The aroma is mostly resiny and piney, with grapefruit and a malty touch. It’s full bodied, lightly warming and pleasantly carbonated. Quite bitter. Grapefruit, resin and pine cones. Lasting finish. Not of the quenching kind, but it’s a nice and tasteful one. 150619

Pours a hazy brown-orange that looks a grey-green as it pours. Foamy off-white head that fades quick and delivers wet lacing. Aroma is a wonderful sweet floral citrus. Taste flips to a bitter lean. Slightly tangy with a jammy citrus sweetness that resolves into a super-dry and tight bitterness. There's a caramel malt backbone in there too. Even had a chocolate-like burp. Truly unique and, truly, epic.

bottle from friend who went to the us on holidays a very very nice beer not normally a fan of double ipa’s but loved this massive massive hop kick in the taste with a smooth bitter finish very nice if you can get it
